Lake Wilmore Park Pool

The pool at Lake Wilmore Park Recreation Center is now closed for the final phase of construction on the pool enclosure that is expected to last into spring 2026. The project will include installing roll-up doors and a dehumidification system, allowing the pool to fully function year-round. These upgrades are part of ongoing efforts to enhance the facility and improve the overall experience for members and guests. Read more about memberships during this time.

Lake Wilmore Park Recreation Center has a covered pool with four 25-yard lap lanes and a zero-depth entry. The pool is heated to a temperature suited for all user groups to encourage year-round use.

All hours at Lake Wilmore Park Pool will be "open swim." We will not have dedicated lap swim or recreation swim times until further notice.

Samford Pool

The Auburn Parks and Recreation Department maintains Samford Pool for public use during the summer.

Samford Pool is closed for the season. Check back for Summer 2026 hours.
